Even the rain went unnoticed to him. He kept murmuring comforting words to Epona, stroking her fur absently as her breaths grew shallower and shallower. Eventually her eyes closed, and Link knew in his heart they would never open again.

"It's okay, girl...you can rest...you deserve it. Thank you for everything, my friend."

As if in acceptance of his farewell, she took in one last deep breath, letting out a calm sigh. Her belly didn't raise after that; her head grew heavier in his lap. Link fell silent, sitting still and watching her. His heart was throbbing painfully with the knowledge that she was gone, but for now his sorrow didn't really show on the outside. The sting of it was still too fresh--still too new. He didn't even really know where to begin letting it out, so he did nothing--just sat there as the rain soaked through his clothing and plastered his hair to his face.





I'm terrible, I killed Epona. D:

The title probably doesn't make much sense, so I shall explain--This scene started off with Link somewhat irritated (and worried) because Epona wouldn't answer his calls. He went out to find her, and found her like this.

She wasn't hurt or anything--she was just really old and it caught up to her. I know he doesn't really look it because I can't do age that well, but Link's around 35 or so in this picture. That's also why his clothing is a little different; in all those years spent in peace, he probably figured it best to stop attracting attention to who he used to be for the sake of his family.

Sorry about the fudged anatomy. It's been far too long since I've done any serious equines.

The colors are absolutely perfect; you work very well with single colors. And poor old Epona...

Oh...Poor Epona... It's really hard to lose a horse. I know how Link feels...

When you see Twilight on the other side of this World of Dimentions... A protector of evil or truth and will revive you once more and send you to the World of Light or the World of Darkness... Which will you choose?

Agreed--I have a mare who's getting up there in years. I remember what it felt like just dreaming that she was dying/died, I can only imagine what it's gonna feel like when it really happens. D: She feels more like a friend than a horse.

That's how most animals are to us...
